Australia Games

The Commonwealth Games have come and gone (been gone about 10 days now), and the superiority of the Australians (relative to a broad range of developing countries) in sport was thoroughly demonstrated. Australia took home a total of 221 medals, with England trailing with 110 and Canada with 86. At the bottom end were Barbados, Fiji, Mozambique, Samoa, and Swaziland (each taking home 1). Then there was the troubled nation of Sierra Leone, which not only didn't manage to take home any medals, but didn't even manage to take home its athletes, most of which disappeared during the games. Six of them subsequently turned up in Sydney, requesting to remain in Australia. Australians are reportedly looking forward to future games that similarly don't involve winter sports or participants from wealthy nations.
